The National Society of Black Physicists is pleased to announce the 2022 Conference on November 6- 9, 2022, in Charlottesville, Virginia.  This year’s conference co-host is the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).  The 44th Annual Conference will be held at the Omni Hotel Charlottesville.  In an effort to follow social distancing guidelines and for the safety of our conference attendees, our large sessions will be held at the spacious historic Paramount Theatre and poster sessions at the Jefferson School- African American Heritage Center (Both the Paramount Theatre and the Jefferson School are within a 3-minute walking distance from the Omni Hotel). 

The theme for this year's conference is "Emerging from the Event Horizon and Beaming for the Future".

The NSBP conference is the largest academic meeting of minority physicists in the United States. The goal of the conference is to provide mentorship opportunities, increase participant access to recruiters, offer networking opportunities and inform the broader physics community on best practices that will be gleaned during and after the meeting. The Conference allows students to have close interactions with professional physicists and gain exposure to high-quality scientific researchers and presentations. In addition to being a meeting that promotes the persistence of underrepresented physics students in the academic workforce pipeline, the conference hosts many high-level research talks, provides opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions and allows students the opportunity for exposure to the scientific community.

The conference will consist of three days of educational sessions, exhibitions, interactive networking opportunities, a hybrid/virtual component, as well as a student career fair and poster sessions on cutting edge issues related to current trends in physics, and science.
